Trying to wrap my mind around Yes and Grand Funk Railroad on the same bill.
That said, thanks for sharing this
Mmmm... like the sound quality. Quite interesting indeed to mix Yes with Grand Funk. Do they have the same bass player ????

For your information....
I had a backstage pass, arrived early and sat directly in front of the sound board. I brought my Sony TC-800, a 5" 7.5ips reel to reel (20 minutes a side/ 40 min a tape)
I noticed they were only using 3 of the 4 or 5 mix bus outputs so I added my wire to their bundle, pulled it away from the snake under my seat and plugged in.
Remember the album had just been released that week and the 45 was only a month (maybe) old. Most of the people were there for Grand Funk.
As an aside, the 5" reel was stolen from me a couple decades ago but certainly not by atticrock. He isn't the first to post it.
I'm just pleased that the original thief posted the tape before all the oxide fell off the backing....
Kevin, I thank you for telling this story.
One of the rare cases in which the person that recorded the show tells it in his own words.
Generally this recordings pass through many hands and it becomes virtually impossible to know how it got on tape.
I hope you keep on visiting Soundaboard.
Cheers
I was there. Went to see Grand Funk and was blown away by Yes.
